So pretty and brought back some sweet memories for me. My Grandma's and especially my aunt's on daddy's side all did beautiful embroidery work. My one aunt, almost 80 now, still works all year to gift us with tea towels or hot pads with her work on them for Christmas!

I've always admired people who know how to embroider...I think it's such a beautiful craft! You certainly did a wonderful job on those pillowcases!! Pssttt...did you know they're not ironed??? LOL Couldn't resist:-) xo

I recieved a set of pillowcases embriodered by my step grandmother. I never really knew my grandfather and we invited him to the wedding just to be nice. He came! Much to our suprise and he brought me these pillow cases made by his wife. I treasure them, he is gone, but I feel a little something from them since he came all the way from Tenn to here to give them to me!

Creativity

The opposite of consumption is production. It takes far more time and energy to create something than to consume something. It takes a novelist a year to write a book that someone can read in a few days. A cast and crew of thousands spend years to create a film that will be viewed in two hours. Often our only recreational activities are actions of consumption. What an alternative it is, then, to rediscover the wonder and delight of creativity.~Albert Hsu
